1. Using the FFT

The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) process converts a time-domain signal into its

frequency components mathematically. The horizontal axis shows the frequency and

the vertical axis shows the amplitude dBVrms or Vrms. FFT function can not only to

help you find crossfire problem and analog waveform distortion caused by nonlinear

amplifier, but also can adjust the analog filter.

FFT waveforms are useful in the following applications:

Measuring harmonic content and distortion in systems

Characterizing noise in DC power supplies

Analyzing vibration

2. Selecting an FFT Window

The oscilloscopes provide four FFT windows. Each window is a trade-off between

frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy. What you want to measure and your

source signals characteristics help determine which window to use. Use the

following guidelines to select the best window.

Key points for FFT

Signals that have a DC component or offset can cause incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC Coupling on the source signal.

To reduce random noise and aliases components in repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope acquisition mode to average.

To display FFT waveforms with a large dynamic range, use the dBVrms scale. The dBVrms scale displays component magnitudes using a log scale.

Key points:

FFT Resolution: the quotient between sampling rate and number of FFT

points. With a fixed FFT points, the lower sampling rate results in better

resolution.

Nyquist Frequency

The highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can acquire

without aliasing. It’s normally half of the sample rate. This frequency is called

the Nyquist frequency. Frequency above the Nyquist frequency will be under

sampled, causing a situation known as aliasing.

Set up Vertical Position and Scale

You can use the vertical controls to display waveforms, adjust vertical

and , and set input parameters.

1. Using vertical knob.

The vertical control changes the position of signal waveforms in

all channels (including MATH and REF). The resolution changes according to the

vertical level set. Pressing this knob will clear the channel offset to zero. (The

function is available for DS1000D series, but not includes digital channel.)

2. Using vertical knob.

The vertical can change the vertical sensitivity of waveforms in all

channels (including MATH and REF, excluding LA). If the Volts/Div is set to

“Coarse”, the waveform scales in a 1-2-5 step sequence from 2 mV to 5 V. If the

Volts/Div is set to “Fine”, it scales to small steps between the coarse settings.

3. Channels can be adjusted by the vertical and only when

they are selected.

4. During the vertical position, a position message is displayed on the left bottom

of the screen, in the same color as the corresponding channel. The unit is V

(Volts).

To Set up the Horizontal System

The oscilloscope shows the time per division in the scale readout. Since all active

waveforms use the same time base, the oscilloscope only displays one value for all

the active channels, except when using Delayed Scan, or Alternate Trigger.

The horizontal controls can change the horizontal scale and position of waveforms.

The horizontal center of the screen is the time reference for waveforms. Changing

the horizontal scale causes the waveform to expand or contract about the screen

center.

Horizontal position changes the displayed waveform position, relative to the trigger

point. Press the horizontal MENU button to display the horizontal menu as follows.

Key Points

Y-T: The conventional oscilloscope display format. It shows the voltage of a

waveform record (on the vertical axis) as it varies over time (on the horizontal

axis).

X-Y: XY format displays channel 1 in the horizontal axis and channel 2 in the

vertical axis.

Roll Mode: In this mode, the waveform display rolls from right to left. No

trigger or horizontal offset control of waveforms is available during Roll Mode,

and it’s only available when set to 500 ms/div or slower.

Slow Scan Mode: This mode is available when the horizontal time base is set

to 50ms/div or slower. In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires sufficient data for

the left part to the trigger point, then wait for trigger, when trigger occurs, it

continues to draw the rest part from the trigger point to the end of the right

side. When choosing this mode to view low frequency signals, it is recommended

that the channel coupling be set as DC.

Time/Div: Horizontal scale. The Time/Div control expands or compresses the

waveform.

To Set up the Trigger System

The trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to acquire data and display a

waveform. When a trigger is set up properly, it can convert unstable displays or

blank screens into meaningful waveforms.

When the oscilloscope starts to acquire a waveform, it collects enough data so that it

can draw the waveform to the left of the trigger point. The oscilloscope continues to

acquire data while waiting for the trigger condition to occur. After it detects a trigger,

the oscilloscope continues to acquire enough data so that it can draw the waveform

to the right of the trigger point.

The trigger control area on the front panel includes a knob and three buttons:

: The knob that set the trigger level; press the knob and the level will

reset to zero.

midpoint between the peaks of the trigger signal

FORCE: Force to create a trigger signal and the function is mainly used in

Trigger Modes

The oscilloscope provides seven trigger modes: Edge, Pulse Width, Slope, Video,

Alternate, Pattern (only for DS1000D series) and Duration trigger (only for DS1000D

series).

Edge: An edge trigger occurs when the trigger input passes through a specified

voltage level at the specified slope direction.

Pulse Width: Use this trigger type to catch pulses with certain pulse width.

Slope: The oscilloscope begins to trigger according to the signal rising or falling

speed.

Video: Use video trigger on fields or lines for standard video signals.

Alternate: Trigger on non-synchronized signals of the dual channels.

Pattern: To Trigger through detecting a specified code.

Duration: To trigger within a specified time on the conditions of a specified code.

Trigger Holdoff

Trigger Holdoff can stabilize complex waveform, such as the pulse range. Holdoff

time is the oscilloscope’s waiting period before starting a new trigger. During Holdoff,

oscilloscope will not trigger until Holdoff ends. For instance: To trigger on the first

pulse on a group of them, users can set the holdoff time to Pulse cluster width.

Trigger Key points

1. Trigger Source: Trigger can occur from several sources: Input channels (CH1

and CH2), AC Line, Ext.

CH1 or CH2: It is the most commonly used trigger source. The channel works

when selected as a trigger source whatever displayed or not.

Ext Trig: The instrument can be triggered from a third source while acquiring

data from CH1 and CH2. For example, to trigger from an external clock or with

a signal from another part of the test circuit. The Ext trigger sources use an

external trigger signal connected to the EXT TRIG connector. Ext uses the signal

directly; it has a trigger level range of -1.2V to +1.2V.

AC Line: AC power can be used to display signals related to the power line

frequency, such as lighting equipment and power supply devices. The

oscilloscope gets triggered on its AC power input; an AC trigger signal is not

required. When AC Line is selected as trigger source, the oscilloscope

automatically set coupling to DC, set trigger level to 0V.

2. Sweep Mode: The sweep mode determines how the oscilloscope behaves in

the absence of a trigger event. The oscilloscope provides three trigger modes:

Auto, Normal, and Single.

Auto: This sweep mode allows the oscilloscope to acquire waveforms even

when it does not detect a trigger condition. If no trigger condition occurs while

the oscilloscope is waiting for a specific period (as determined by the time-base

setting), it will force itself to trigger.

When forcing invalid triggers, the oscilloscope cannot synchronize the

waveform, and the waveform seems to roll across the display. If valid triggers

occur, the display becomes stable on the screen.

Any factor results in the un-stability of waveforms can be detected by Auto

Trigger, such as the output of Power supply.

NOTE: When horizontal control is set under 50 ms/div, Auto mode allows the

oscilloscope not to capture trigger signal.

Normal: The Normal mode allows the oscilloscope to acquire a waveform only

when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the oscilloscope keeps waiting, and the

Page 82: User’s Guide DS1000E

RIGOL

© 2008 RIGOL Technologies, Inc. User’s Guide for DS1000E, DS1000D Series

2-52

previous waveform, if any, will remain on the display.

Single: In Single mode, after pressing the RUN/STOP key, the oscilloscope

waits for trigger. While the trigger occurs, the oscilloscope acquires one

waveform then stop.

3. Coupling: Trigger coupling determines which signal component passing to the

trigger circuit. Coupling types include AC, DC, LF Reject and HF Reject.

AC: AC coupling blocks DC components and attenuates the signal below 10Hz.

DC: DC coupling passes both AC and DC components.

LF Reject: LF Reject coupling blocks DC component, and attenuates all

signal with a frequency lower than 8 kHz.

HF Reject: HF Reject coupling attenuates all signals with a frequency higher

than 150 kHz.

4. Pre-trigger/delayed trigger: The data collected before and after trigger.

The trigger position is typically set at the horizontal center of the screen. In the

full-screen display the 6div data of pre-trigger and delayed trigger can be

surveyed. More data of pre-trigger and 1s delayed trigger can be surveyed by

adjusting the horizontal knob.

This feature is very useful to study the events that led up to the trigger point.

Everything to the right of the trigger point is called post-trigger information. The

delay range (pre-trigger and post-trigger information) depends on the sweep

speed selected. 5. Adjustable trigger sensitivity: To avoid the influence of noise from the

physical world, and get the stable trigger, the trigger circuit has adopted

Stickiness. In DS1000E, DS1000D series, the stickiness is adjustable from

0.1div-1.0div, which means when it sets to 1.0div, the trigger circuit will not

affect any signal with peak-peak amplitude less than 1.0div, so as to avoid the

influence of the noise.

Key Points

Real-time Sampling: The oscilloscope has Real-time sampling rate up to

1GSa/s. At the time base 50ns or faster, the oscilloscopes use the sine(x)/x

interpolation to expand the horizontal time base.

Equivalent Sampling: Known as Repetitive sampling to get up to 40ps of

horizontal resolution (equivalent 25Gsa/s). This mode is good for observing

repetitive signals, and it is not recommended for single-shot or pulse.

Normal Acquisition: Oscilloscope acquires signal by equal time interval.

Average Acquisition: Apply averaging to your signal to remove uncorrelated

noise and improve measurement accuracy. Reduces random or uncorrelated noise

in the signal display. The averaged waveform is a running average over a specified

number of acquisitions from 2 to 256.

Peak Detect Acquisition: Peak Detect mode captures the maximum and

minimum values of a signal. Finds highest and lowest record points over many

acquisitions.

Key points:

1. Display type: Display type includes Vector and Dot. In vectors type, the

oscilloscopes connect dots through digital interpolation including both linearity

and sin(x)/x. Sin(x)/x interpolation is suitable for Real-time sampling and will be

more effective at 50ns or faster time base.

2. Refresh rate: It is an important performance of digital oscilloscopes. It means

the number of display refreshing per second and it will affect the ability to

observe signal.

Pass/Fail connection

In Pass/Fail testing output circuit, the Oscilloscope adopts the technique of Optical

Isolation. It needs to connect to another circuit to fulfill the function.

Before connecting to an external circuit, make sure the maximum voltage/current

does not exceed 400V/100mA. The output device has no polarity limit and can be

connect arbitrarily.

Example 3: Capture a Single-Shot Signal

To capture a single event, it needs to gather some pre-test knowledge of the signal

in order to set up the trigger level and slope correctly. For example, if the event is

derived from TTL logic, a trigger level of 2 volts should work on a rising edge.

The following steps show how to use the oscilloscope to capture a single event.

1. Set the probe and the channel attenuations to 10X.

2. Set up the trigger.

(1) Press the MENU button in the Trigger control area to display the menu.

(2) Press Edge to select the trigger mode

(3) Press Slope to select

(4) Press Source to select CH1

(5) Press Sweep to select Single

(6) Press Set Up→Coupling to select DC

3. Turn the vertical and horizontal knobs to adjust the Volts/Div and

4. Turn the knob to adjust trigger level

5. Press RUN/STOP button to start capturing. When the trigger conditions are met,

data appears on the display representing the data points that the oscilloscope

obtained with one acquisition.

This function helps to capture the occurrence easily, such as the noisy with large

amplitude; set the trigger level higher a little above the normal level and press

RUN/STOP and wait. When noise occurs, the instrument will record the waveform

before and after the trigger. Adjust the button in the horizontal

control area and change the level of the trigger position, will get the inverted delay

trigger. It is useful to observe the waveform before the occurrence of the noise.

can be used for external automatic control applications, such as the automatic

failure product kick-out in a production line. The output is built in as a standard

feature, and is optically isolated.

Do the steps as following:

1. Press Utility→Pass/Fail.

2. Press Enable Test and select ON.

3. Press Mask Setting→Load.

4. Press Load to recall the saved mask or press X Mask and Y Mask to adjust the

horizontal limit and vertical limit then press Create Mask to create a new mask.

5. Press Output to select the expected outputting waveforms.

6. Press Operate to start the test.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting

1. After the oscilloscopes is powered on, the screen remains dark (no

display):

(1) Check the power cable connection.

(2) Check if the power switch is turned on.

(3) After the above inspection, restart the oscilloscope.

(4) If the problem still remains, please contact RIGOL for help.

2. After the signal acquisition the waveform does not appear:

(1) Check if the probes are correctly connected with the signals.

(2) Check if the probes are firmly connected to the channels.

(3) Check if the probes are correctly connected with the object being tested.

(4) Check if the circuit can generate signal at the test point (Connect the probe

compensator output to an input channel to confirm whether the testing point

has no signal or the input channel is in some troubles).

(5) Repeat the acquisition.

3. The measurement result is 10 times higher or lower than the value

expected.

Check if the probe attenuation is the same as the channel attenuation.

4. If the oscilloscope does not get a stable waveform display:

(1) Check the Trigger Source and notice if it is set to the channel in use.

(2) Check the Trigger Type. Use “Edge” for normal signals, and use “Video” for

VIDEO signals.

(3) Switch the coupling into HF Rejection or LF Rejection in order to filter the noise

which disturbs trigger.

(4) Adjust the trigger Sensitivity and the hold off time.

5. After pressing the RUN/STOP button, the oscilloscope does not display

any waveform on screen.

Check whether the Trigger Mode is set to “Normal” or “Single” and see

whether the trigger level is out of the signal range. If yes, set the trigger level in

4-2

proper range by turning the knob or pressing the 50% button. Or set

the Trigger Mode as “AUTO”. Moreover, push AUTO button to display the

waveform on screen.

6. After the Acquisition is set to “Averages” or Display Persistence is set

ON, the waveform refreshes slowly.

It is normal in these settings.

7. The signal is displayed as ladder like waveform.

(1) The time base setting maybe is too low. Turn the horizontal knob to

increase horizontal resolution to improve the display.

(2) Maybe the display Type is set to “Vectors” set it to “Dots” mode to improve the

display.
